Erp!  That was me; Sorry.  I was trying out the redirect to see if it
worked.  I stay logged in pretty regularly on my own wikis, and I have an
option that requires author identification to make any edits, so I'm used
to being reminded in case I forget.  Is that an option in MediWiki?  I
don't think you should link users to IP addresses; there may be cases
where more than one user is coming from an IP address (different family
members, users at public access points like libraries, etc.)

I agree that a broader discussion forum is useful, particularly as things
are starting up.  In the first wiki I worked in regularly, there was a
link to recent changes that was what I checked regularly to see what other
people had been working on.

I'm using XP at work, so I'm somewhat familiar with it, Fred.  I'll try to
be helpful if I can.

Regards,

Philip
